Because we surely would have kept that in the new contract. Let me guess, “we gave in too easy and the company would have given us this”. And everyone got 2 4 days dropped, right?

And no, I want nothing to do with FLL in any manner, even “drinking beer with buddies”

What are you looking at? MCO shows 82 bidders with 69 lines and only 13 total reserve lines.

Oh yeah, dislike FLL, but those were great ground schools!

Change was inevitable though, just like the days of GH booking hotels for Ned.

In my base, 12 more hard lines with PBS vs the bid package for line bidding.

There really just aren't a REL lines. In fact in my base there will be 1 more on Reserve than normal line bidding.

I hear you guys are getting sent all over the system to cover trips is this correct? IE lots of DHing! Someone please correct me if I'm wrong the PBS system doesn't have the new rigs only the 5 hrs AVERAGE day is loaded. That's the purpose of the meeting on the 25th. Excuse me if I missed one of the 50 emails I receive from the Company and ALPA daily.
